BEVERLY HILLS, April 22, (THEWILL) – The Federal Government on Thursday said it was going to beef up security around the borders with neighbouring Chad following the death of President Idriss Deby.
Defence Minister, Major General Bashir Magashi (Rtd), who made this known to newsmen at the State House, Abuja, stressed that the absence of Chad’s influence on the border may worsen Nigeria and other neighbouring countries’ security situation.
This, he explained, has informed why Nigeria will beef up security around its borders, particularly with the Republic of Chad following the ongoing unrest in the country, which may escalate insecurity.
The Minister also said the attacks on police formation in the South-East was an affront on Nigeria’s security architecture and warned that such would no longer be tolerated.
